In the case of not seeing that option when right-clicking on the taskbar digital time display, you can try another solution.

Click on the House on the desktop to open ROX in the /root directory.
Then Click on the EYE to show hidden files.
Next, right-click on .jwmrc-tray and select Open as text.
At the end of that file, you will see a line that says:
"<Clock format="%H:%M">minixcal</Clock>" without the outside quotes.

Change that line again without the outside quotes to:
"<Clock format="%1:%M %p">minixcal</Clock>"

Restart the window manager and you should be greeted with am/pm type of time display.

This is for the Openbox and JWM window managers by the way.

It does not work when running xfce4 as window manager and also with comp-fusion.

I do not know what is going on with the forum . But the character after the first percent sign is the numeral 1.
It is not showing as that so I will try doing a paste of it to this message in a code box.
I did not do it because the line was again changed.

So here it is manually I hope.

<Clock format="%1:%M %p">minixcal</Clock>

That seemed to work although I had to edit the line as a paste into the message had changed the %1 to a %l (lower case L).

So be sure that the character after the first percent sign is the numeral one.

If all else fails - left click on /root/.jwmrc-tray, then arrow
down to the bottom of the file, then amend the Clock line to:
<Clock format="%H:%M">minixcal</Clock>
then save
then use Menu>Shutdown>Restart JWM

It should then work for you.

I edited your previous post to change the "l" in that line to a 1. It seemed to take, so I don't know what happened when you posted it. Did you try to edit that post and nothing changed?

I'm using Slacko with JWM.

Below, in the clock-parameters image, is what i get using "%1...." as per your advice, 8-bit....no disrespect, but the numeral "1" doesn't seem to be a valid parameter....in the 12-hr clock image, the lowercase "L" is used.
